Yes, it is possible to map to the CFC directly, by setting
the access attribute to "remote". However there is a catch. For
this to work through a mapping, you must edit the
services-config.xml file that is located in the
cfusion.ear\cfusion.war\WEB-INF\flex directory of your CF server
instance. Somewhere around line 22 of that file you should see:
<use-mappings>false</use-mappings>
change that to:
<use-mappings>true</use-mappings>
I'm not sure if you need to restart the CF instance or not.
However, from a security standpoint I would recommend using a
remote facade similar to what jmmorgan suggested. In fact, if you
use ColdSpring, you can get ColdSpring to generate this for you.
Hope this helps,
